And despite abdominal and urological cancers making up 44% of all cancer diagnoses nationwide, almost two thirds of people polled said they did not know what the common warning signs are.
Two in five people also admitted not knowing that a persistent cough lasting more than three weeks could be a symptom of lung cancer.Ms Pritchard said:"It's incredibly important that people recognise the common symptoms that can signal a cancer diagnosis - and it's vital that they take action by making an appointment with their GP, that could ultimately save their life."
Michelle Mitchell, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, added:"If you've noticed an unusual change in your health, don't be tempted to put it down to getting older or to a pre-existing condition - contact your GP.
